Go Lady Braves!
 
I like Paula alot and hope she has a great season with many more to follow.With a couple of freshman playing quite a bit and new facility maybe she can get the recruits in to compete for the Valley title for years to come.
 
I wonder how the attendance was. The Men's game was before this game... you know, kinda like JV first then the Varsity after. :-P
I know how spectators are treated in C/U. Ushers will NOT let people move closer to the floor... closer to the Bradley bench cause season ticket holders for the men's games get to go to the women's games and they say the season ticket holder's don't like it when people sit in their seats... even if they won't be there... even if it is in the 2nd 1/2.

So I wonder if the ushers at the United Center followed suit.

Could you just see being a Bradley fan... sit thru the JV game... then time for the Varsity game... most of the fans leave cause they only came for the JV game... so you move down to be closer to the action and the Bradley bench only to be sent away cause the fans that left don't want you in their seats? LOL!
 
From the radio broadast, there was more crowd cheers after Bradley baskets, than after Illinois baskets. It sounded like there were more Bradley fans, or at least that with them leading big, they were louder.
Considering there were 12,139 Illinois fans there for the men's game that preceeded the women's game, there must not have been many Illini fans that stayed. The attendance for the women's game was listed as 2,376. I wonder how they figure that, since the tickets sold were for both games?


Paula has done a fine job, so far. I hope they can keep improving. All of a sudden, her team does everything well. This team shoots well, rebounds well, defends well, passes well, and is more athletic than any of Bradley women's team in past years. She is getting great contributions from freshmen, as well as the regulars. And all the players are great kids and good students. Way to go ladies!
